Legacy Audio Classic HD Speakers with or without Sub

I am considering purchasing the Classic HD speakers and am wondering if a sub will be necessary with them. I currently own the Dynaudio Focus 260 floorstanders (Dual 6.5" midwoofers) with their partnering sub, the Sub 600. Although I've never had a sub before in any system, I do like the extra bass depth it gives.

I've been reading the forums on this site and really haven't read anyone pairing a sub with the Classic HD's. Also, I read one professional review where the Classics were paired with Legacy's own Metro sub but it didn't mention how they sounded without the sub. Finally, I went to the Legacy site and read some posts but nothing about the Classics with a sub.

Please post your experiences with & without a sub(s) paired with the Classic HD's. Are the dual 8" woofers enough to provide sufficient bass without a sub? I'm not a sub freak so I may be able to live without one but as mentioned before the Dynaudio set up sounds nice with one.

Thanks!

If is is of any help our demo showroom which contains the Focus SE is 17 long by 14 wide with a 10 foot ceiling and the speakers sound fantastic in it.  The Focus Signature is the best Legacy speaker for the size and the money and they also represent the greatest value.

If you are anywhere near the East Coast you should come in and give them a listen.

Thanks Kuppe38 for the nice  words. Dave told me that you came into the story and loved the speakers. 

I agree with you trading the Virgos for the Focus Signatures is a great move, I also love the speakers, they are on of my favorite speakers in the entire shop.

Please contact us, we have experience with both models.

The Focus Se are fantastic so are the smaller Signatures, they differ in a number of differences.

We have had both models on display, ultimately we choose to focus on the Signatures as their smaller size will work in more rooms.

The bass on both models is fantastic, the Signatures are acoustic suspension so their bass is tighter, the ported Focus have more bass but it tends to be a little loser.
